Crystals listed in the JCPDS card in the BaO-B₂O₃-Al₂O₃ and BaO-B₂O₃-Ga₂O₃ systems are of interest from a viewpoint of the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG). Ba₅Al₄B₁₂O₂₉ and Ba₅Ga₄B₁₂O₂₉ are promising new crystals with SHG activity and with congruent melting mode. These crystals can be grown by the Czochralski method with a size of 3 x 3 x 0.1-1mm.
